Dirac equation for massive neutrinos in a Schwarzschild-de Sitter spacetime from a 5D vacuum    [PDF]

Pablo Alejandro Sánchez, Mariano Anabitarte, Mauricio Bellini
Starting from a Dirac equation for massless neutrino in a 5D Ricci-flat background metric, we obtain the effective 4D equation for massive neutrino in a Schwarzschild-de Sitter (SdS) background metric from an extended SdS 5D Ricci-flat metric. We use the fact that the spin connection is defined to an accuracy of a vector, so that the covariant derivative of the spinor field is strongly dependent of the background geometry. We show that the mass of the neutrino can be induced from the extra space-like dimension.
